React Native New Architecture and OTA Updates: What Teams Need to Know in 2026

Jun 22, 2026 By Codemagic In Codemagic
The React Native New Architecture is no longer optional. From React Native 0.82 onwards it is mandatory, the legacy architecture is gone, and every team still running it is now carrying technical debt that will need to be resolved. For most teams, the migration conversation quickly turns to tooling. Does our CI/CD pipeline still work? Does our crash reporter still integrate correctly? Do our analytics tools need updating?

Controlled Rollouts in React Native: How to Push OTA Updates Without Breaking Production

Jun 5, 2026 By Codemagic In Codemagic
The ability to push an update directly to your users’ devices without App Store review, without delay, without any action required from the user, is one of the most powerful capabilities available to a React Native team. Over-the-air (OTA) updates change how fast you can respond to bugs, iterate on features, and ship improvements. But that power cuts both ways. A bad OTA update reaching 100% of your users at once is considerably worse than a bad store release.

Jun 5, 2026 By SystemsDigest In SystemsDigest
Software engineering teams are operating in environments that look very different from just a few years ago.

Stop building your modular mobile app the slow way

May 22, 2026 By Codemagic In Codemagic
Your CI pipeline worked fine when the app was young. Then the app grew. Features got split into modules. Teams formed around those modules. And somewhere along the way, what used to be a 4-minute build became a 25-minute one. Then 35. Now nobody pushes to main before lunch because the queue is already backed up. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. According to Google’s 2024 Developer Survey, 83% of Android apps over 500,000 lines of code struggle with build performance.

React Native OTA Updates: What You Can (and Can't) Deploy Over the Air

May 21, 2026 By Codemagic In Codemagic
Over-the-air (OTA) updates are one of the most powerful tools available to React Native teams. The ability to push changes directly to users’ devices without App Store review, without Google Play approval, without any action required from the user, meaningfully changes how fast a team can respond to bugs and iterate on their product. But OTA updates operate within clear boundaries. Misunderstanding those boundaries leads to two distinct problems.

How to fix bad update experiences due to defaults in CodePush

May 14, 2026 By Codemagic In Codemagic
CodePush is a great way to ship over-the-air (OTA) updates, avoid app store approval delays, and roll out changes cautiously. Even though App Center has closed down, there are many options available to get started with CodePush. But some of the default settings can create undesirable behaviors, leaving teams wrongly thinking CodePush causes a bad user experience.

How to Override CodePush Defaults for Smooth OTA Updates

May 14, 2026 By Codemagic In Codemagic
CodePush is a great way to ship over-the-air (OTA) updates, avoid app store approval delays, and roll out changes cautiously. Even though App Center has closed down, there are many options available to get started with CodePush. But some of the default settings can create unwanted behaviors, stopping updates from installing or making the app look like it’s crashed.
